What is Hawcx Authentication?

Hawcx is a next-generation authentication platform built for organizations that want stronger security than passwords and passkeys can provide, without adding friction to the user experience. It replaces static, synchronized credentials with a device-bound, zero-knowledge authentication process that works natively across modern browsers and mobile environments.

Where passkeys depend on long-lived private keys stored on the device or synced through cloud services, Hawcx takes a cryptographic-first approach. The Hawcx Protocol uses short-lived, per-session key material and an interactive proof process that ensures no reusable credential ever exists in storage or in transit. This gives developers stronger defenses against phishing, sync compromises, cloud breaches, replay attacks, and emerging quantum threats, while still integrating cleanly into existing CIAM workflows.

The Hawcx Platform

The Hawcx platform includes:

• Authentication Services: A passwordless, device-bound login flow powered by the Hawcx Protocol, delivering strong user authentication with minimal user interaction.
• Client SDKs: Lightweight SDKs for web, iOS, and Android that integrate with secure platform vaults (WebCrypto, Secure Enclave, TEE) to generate ephemeral key material and handle all cryptographic details behind the scenes.
• Management & Integration APIs: API keys allow developers to manage users, devices, sessions, and application settings.
• Risk & Security Controls: Built-in safeguards that prevent credential transfer, device spoofing, session replay, MITM attempts, and harvest-now/decrypt-later attacks. Hawcx's trust model anchors identity to each device without requiring cloud synchronization, reducing the blast radius of breaches.

At its core, Hawcx provides a modern alternative to passwords and passkeys: one that is device-bound, quantum-resilient, and resistant to the structural weaknesses of synchronized credential ecosystems.
